Method

Clean the fish well, as it is a fresh water fish the smell of the fish is different than the normal fish, so please scrape carefully the fish to remove the black narrow skin using a small knife and wash it thoroughly and again rub it with salt, vinegar & 2-3 pinch of turmeric powder.

Heat oil in a pan & splutter mustard , then add ginger, garlic, green chilly and chopped onions one by one until the onion turns in to light brown, then add , chilly, turmeric, black pepper & garam masala powder one by one and sauté it for 1 mint.

Then add chopped tomato until mushy. Finally add the squids and mix well with masalas. Then close the pan with a lid and cook the same for about 7- 10 mints in a medium low flame, No need to put water as the squid itself-produce water. If you want to make the squid as a roast form, open the lid and sauté the squids until the water gets dissolved. If you want the squid in a curry form add coconut milk in the last stage.
